                 <td valign="top">2.1 History and auditing<br>
      <ul>
        <li>WP proposed a DBObject base class for all objects stored in database
containing the object id and name of table. This would be useful for object
management to reduce the number of simultaneous instantiations as all objects
could be stored in a single table.<br>
        </li>
        <li>WP proposed a hybrid of the xml approach and using database for
storing changes. It would consist of a table of change objects with a column
for responsible person and another for date plus a column with a text object
containing xml with the details of the change. It should be attached to a
DBObject so that it can store the history of any type of object.</li>
        <li>RC suggested that when a new object is created the first change
should already be recorded showing details of the creation.<br>

       <td valign="top">2.2 State Machine types for different task types<br>
      <ul>
        <li>WP suggested adding type (project, action or issue) to the TaskStateMachine
object which would be stored in the database but is not necessarily used
or enforced when a state machine type is chosen for a task.</li>
        <li>WP also suggested in response to a question by RC on whether
it should be possible to change state machines for a task that the new state
machine should simply be created in the start state. It would then be up
to a responsible person to take the state machine through the necessary transitions
(with suitable explanations) to the desired state.<br>

      <ul>
        <li>WP is interested in continuing his involvement in the project
on an advisory level but suggested that when RC is in Cape Town that a more
complete agenda is prepared for each meeting. Additionally we could aim to
have the meetings over a weekend (eg Saturday morning) so that they could
be longer.</li>
        <li>We would attempt to keep correspondence going via email or perhaps
ICQ for answering questions etc.<br>
